  • Serves Dana, NC

Hi! My name is Nathan Rivers Chesky and I am a wedding storyteller. For over a decade I have captured weddings as a photographer, director, and cinematic videographer. I have traveled the world as a photographer and film maker documenting the genuine beauty of this world in portraits, moments, and real interactions. My team and I have found our place telling the unique story of every couple through photography and video with our specific balance of direction and creating the space for real moments for you to be who you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
By the luck of the draw, Nathan was available for our very quickly planned wedding--we snagged the last date he had in June 2024. I was ecstatic because I had always admired his work. My now husband and I had a blast working with him, we never thought taking photos/videos would be one of the highlights of our big day but it really was. The whole family loved working with Nathan, too. He was laid back but nothing short of a true professional--he was somehow everywhere, capturing everything yet never in the way. He went with the flow with funny family eccentricities that popped up and made everyone feel comfortable. Our photos and video got back to us in shockingly record time and we can't choose favorites because we love them all. Multiple people we've shared photos have said, "that looks straight out of Vogue or a magazine." If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Nathan in any capacity, whether it be a wedding or other shoot, do not pass this amazing artist up.

I’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, home cooked meals, hot summer days, and going on adventures. I’m weird (aren’t we all?), but I’m unapologetically myself, and I am obsessed with my job and this life I am so blessed to live. I've worked with some awesome couples, and maybe you're the next!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nick is a gem!! We are so thankful that he photographed our wedding. My partner and I had a lot of requests, and Nick accommodated them all while never making us feel difficult. He listened carefully to what was important to us - for my husband it was not stopping the party to take pictures and for me it was LOTS of candids of our loved ones. Somehow Nick made it happen!! We got gorgeous photos of the two of us just being ourselves with each other and amazing dance floor shots of our guests having the best time! With no posing!! The colors in the photos are fantastic -- even though Nick does AMAZING work outdoors he makes indoor photography feel just as special. Nick made a special effort to take a lot of photos of my grandparents and our parents specifically which we will treasure in years to come. Our friends said that the photos "look like how the day felt" which felt so right. We were amazed by how many micro moments between guests Nick captured!! Reliving the day via the photos is now my favorite past time. To top it all off, Nick was incredibly kind and calm throughout the day. Everyone in our families raved about how nice our photographer was. He worked with our coordinator for our timeline to run on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We got to be fully present all day long. It was the exact energy you want by your side throughout your wedding. If we could change one thing it would have been having Nick for more time!!

  • Photographer

  • Serves Dana, NC

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adrian is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you're a couple that is awkward in front of a camera! We hired her for our wedding in Asheville, and she came to us in Raleigh for our engagement session. She made us feel really comfortable and didn't try to make us do any "unnatural" poses; over the engagement session, she found what worked for us, and brought out more of that! She was also very patient with our dog who did not want to cooperate at all, and still managed to get some great action shots of him! The day of our wedding, it poured! She was such a trooper about quickly moving outside when the sun poked out, and back in when the skies opened up. And when everyone hit the dance floor, she got the best personality pics of our loved ones. She was so patient with us, and everything we needed as two individuals who originally did not feel comfortable in front of the camera!

Jenny and Joe are absolutely fantastic to work with! The photos that they produce and the candid emotions that they’re able to capture are amazing. They also work really hard to make you feel comfortable, especially if you’re like me and find it awkward to be the center of attention. In the age of COVID, they were also highly amenable and took every measure to ensure their clients were comfortable. I highly recommend JCM Photography and I would work with them again in a heartbeat.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can say with 100% certainty, there is no one who could’ve captured our wedding better than Laren. I don’t even know where to begin, but I’ll do my best! From the very first conversation, Laren proved to be professional, warm, engaged, thoughtful, smart, artistic, and I could tell she absolutely loved what she did. I was drawn to her work originally because of it’s cinematic, timeless, and intimate quality--exactly what we were looking for. She strikes the perfect balance of capturing the small, beautiful moments between people, and showcasing the venue & event in it’s entirety. My husband and I have never done professional photos before, so we were surprised at how comfortable Laren made us feel in front of the camera. She encouraged us to be goofy, have fun, make each other laugh, and be playful without feeling forced whatsoever. She made us look beautiful, but never made us look like anything other than ourselves. What more could you want on your wedding day? Underneath all the artistry and kindness, she was also professional, prompt, an incredible wrangler, and flexible, and absolutely went beyond the “call of duty.” She moved swiftly but never made anyone feel rushed. I didn’t even notice her during the ceremony and reception, and she captured a million and one special moments—she’s magic!! Laren truly made us feel like old Hollywood stars. I am so incredibly thankful we chose each other for this special day, and I cannot recommend her enough. Book Laren and you will truly, truly be so impressed and grateful.

Luxury Harpist - Tori Parrish

  • Solo performer
  • Serves Dana, NC

I am a classical harpist with over twenty years of experience, and I love working with couples to add a magical touch to their special day. I have a full repertoire of classical and romantic music, and I arrange my own medleys and popular music as well! I have performed in weddings in North Carolina, California and Tennessee and with the Stanford Symphony Orchestra and the American Youth Harp Ensemble. Some of my favorite performances were touring renowned concert halls in Austria including St. Peter's Cathedral and Melk Abbey. Now, I'm based in Asheville, NC and work with students of all ages sharing the joys of the harp.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew I really wanted harp music to accompany my wedding ceremony, and as I searched for a harpist, I listened to sample pieces by a few different musicians. Tori’s style was exactly what I was looking for - the beautiful, lilting, classic sound you hear in your head when you think of harp music. I contacted her and we were immediately able to connect to talk about a date, possible music selections, and the booking process. Tori’s communication was thorough yet simple, so even though I didn’t have a wedding planner, I easily understood what I needed to do and when, what I was getting, and how things would work leading up to and including the day of the event. I ended up being a lot more selective on music choices than I thought I would be, and Tori was happy to accommodate all of my requests! Her repertoire is extensive. She even arranged a custom piece for us that was a very special, personal addition to our wedding day. Everything was picture perfect on the day of our outdoor ceremony. All of our guests were super impressed by the live harp music. They said it was so lovely, I wish I had been able to sit and enjoy the prelude with them! In addition to providing the perfect sound, both Tori and the harp were a visually stunning addition to our ceremony. Book her - you and your guests will be in for a treat!

She was extremely easy-going, communicative, professional, and always quick to respond for the entire year leading up to our wedding. So it came as no surprise that on our wedding day she absolutely crushed it. She captured our day so seamlessly. She was never in the way, never made us uncomfortable and just blended into the background in all the right ways. She made the wedding party and family photos process quick and painless which I know from experience can sometimes prove to be a disaster or just unorganized and chaotic at weddings. I was even MORE blown away when she delivered some photos the morning after our wedding after probably being up super late after getting home from our wedding. Talk about going above and beyond and exceeding expectations!!! I could not have asked for a better photographer to play such a huge part in our big day and I would recommend Jacqueline to ANYONE.

Weaverville, NC

  • Starts at $5,000

The Fields, on 21 rolling acres, awaits you at the end of Reems Creek Valley. With breathtaking views of the Blueridge Mountains. We are minutes from, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and downtown Asheville, NC.​ The Barn is a 3,200 square foot converted stable, a unique rustic barn with the elegance of 21 chandeliers, 2000 square foot Patio draped with Tuscan lights. The Barn is the perfect setting for a relaxing and comfortable celebration, whether it’s a rustic elegant wedding for 50 or 500 guest. The Lodge is a 5,000 square foot Conference Center. The Great room has 20 foot vaulted ceilings. The Boardroom will seat 14 people at a conference table. There are 2 additional dressing rooms upstairs. The largest of the dressing rooms is known as the Brides Room, providing a relaxing and calming feel, with large vaulted ceilings, and views of the mountains.

The Fields of Blackberry Cove was such a beautiful venue and very affordable compared to other wedding venues, especially when considering the location. You are surrounded by mountains and have multiple locations on site where you could hold the ceremony (multiple oak trees and arches you can use free of charge). This venue is great for those looking to hold the ceremony and reception in the same place. We got married outside and then held dinner, provided by the venue with additional fees, and the after party in the barn. The dinner provided by the venue was delicious and made the whole process a lot less stressful because they took care of everything. We were able to serve alcohol and beer/wine/Truly that we purchased ourselves, and Doug provided ice, cups, and a bartender that we paid 60 dollars an hour. With about 100 guests, the barn made for a perfect dance floor. I didn't hire a wedding planner, so I planned the wedding by myself. Doug, the venue owner, was easy to work with and very experienced in planning weddings. He never really clarifies specific things the venue does or does not provide, so be sure to ask! He was funny and an enjoyable presence, but he got a little sassy on the wedding day when I couldn't decide if I should move the ceremony into the barn due to inclement weather. Regardless though, it worked out and everything went to plan! 100% recommend to anyone who doesn't want to spend 15000 on a wedding.

Gâteaux Owner and Pastry Chef, Lindsay Cromartie, laughs when asked how many years she's been "doing this." Look at the circa 1986 picture to the left for her answer! Professionally, Lindsay has been "doing this" since 2005, when she realized, while still at UNC Chapel Hill, she wasn't cut out for a desk job. From Chapel Hill, to The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, where Lindsay prepared herself with a Baking and Pastry Degree. Fortunately, after a year in the "Big City," Lindsay and her family realized "there's no place like home" and returned to Hendersonville, where, after a brief hiatus, she has established Gâteaux.

Gateaux Cakes & Pastries was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! From the moment we reached out, the owner Lindsay was quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and truly amazing. As a wizard of a baker, Lindsay crafted the most beautiful and delicious groom's cake, wedding cake, cookies, pies, tarts, and macarons for our special day. Everything was a huge hit with our guests - the quality and value of Gateaux's work was outstanding. Lindsay was also so thoughtful in her suggestions to ensure our desserts were exactly what we wanted. I will absolutely be a lifelong patron of this amazing small business. I highly recommend Gateaux Cakes & Pastries to any couple planning their wedding!

Emerald Ridge Farm & Event Center

Creating the deepest joy for couples, families and guests on our 33 acre historical family farm. Only 12 minutes from downtown Asheville. Welcome up to 175 guests to our captivating mountain views. Half day, full day & weekend packages available with overnight stays in the modern 3 BR/ 3 bath farmhouse + camping options. The perfect setting for your "one of a kind" event. Event spaces are adaptable to a wide variety of styles: elegant to simple and everything in between!

While Emerald Ridge is an extraordinary venue, it wasn’t the venue that won us over. The owners, Janice & Paul, were the reason we decided we wanted to have our wedding there. Janice was our first point of contact and couldn’t have been more communicative, authentic, personable, and accommodating. They allowed us to take our engagement photos there after touring the property. Paul drove us around on his golf cart and happily answered all of our questions and put us at ease. We hired Malorie as our “month of” wedding coordinator and we’re extremely pleased that we did! She’s clearly an expert when it comes to the property and the wedding planning/execution process. On the day of our wedding she went above and beyond to make us feel as special and comfortable as possible! Mason and Taylor were also extremely accommodating and hard working. The entire staff was incredibly genuine and kind to us and our guests. We highly recommend booking the “No Stress Wedding Weekend” package and adding Thursday night to get the full experience of feeling right at home. Emerald Ridge has a vast inventory of decorations which allowed us to travel lightly from out of town. Emerald Ridge has a focus on keeping their property naturally beautiful and respecting the environment, which we very much appreciated. We truly could not have asked for a better wedding experience! We are grateful from the bottom of our hearts.

Our team provides eco-conscious floral services and candle decor for events. We recognize that not one single style of floral is beautiful to everyone, and we truly enjoy creating various styles, especially the one that fits the client! We buy local as much as possible and are always on the hunt for sustainably grown beauties. We chase the best of the season, often delighting in the underused and less-seen pod, fruiting branch, and oddity. During our region's non-growing season, we source from what is available to us from around the world, always keeping the mindset of the least ecological footprint option first.

Our flowers were amazing! Shannon really listened to what we wanted and we couldn’t have been happier. Our flowers were beautiful, natural and very creative. We had a great experience and highly recommend.

Hi! We're Julie and Rad. We met in Vietnam in 2016, and have lived in eight countries together since then. During our time abroad we've had plenty of adventures, seen incredible wildlife, eaten a lot of wonderful food, and honed our photography skills. We also got married in 2020! Planning a wedding during a pandemic involved an unusual set of challenges. Although our guest count was a little smaller than we originally anticipated-- the day could not have been more perfect. This was made possible only because we hired and trusted the right people. We try to instill the same trust so you can enjoy your day!

Simply Amazing! We had our engagement shoot at the Biltmore estate and it was nothing short of magical. Julie was able to capture exactly what I wanted the pictures to look like. She is a joy to work with and helped us feel relaxed and at ease. I can’t stop looking at my pictures and everyone that lays eyes on them is OBSESSED! They take your pictures and capture who you are but also make it look like a beautiful piece of art. I simply cannot say enough good things!

Carolina Flowers is equal parts farm and florist. We tend 5 acres of land to bring you the most exquisite blooms, and we employ a team of florists to arrange them in custom designs. We focus on seasonal blooms, designs with lots of movement and whimsy, and a natural aesthetic.

Carolina Flowers was a dream to work with for our wedding flowers. Their communication style was thorough, streamlined, and professional throughout the entire process. I simply shared inspiration photos and a family painting to convey the aesthetic I envisioned, and their team perfectly brought that vision to life with breathtaking floral arrangements. The artistry and attention to personal style was evident in every bouquet, centerpiece, and boutonniere. Our wedding day was made that much more beautiful thanks to the stunning florals crafted by Carolina Flowers. I couldn't recommend them more highly for any couple seeking showstopping wedding flowers tailored exceptionally to their taste.

Joyful & Genuine Wedding Photography, For Warm Souls & Big Hearts. Your story is vibrant and full of life, and your wedding photos should be too. You've arrived here with a purpose as deep as your love story. But more than that—once the dust settles and the fog lifts from your celebration—you want to be able to look at your photos for all the years to come and step right back into those moments. To experience the love, joy and jubilee all over again—with crystal clear ease.

Simon was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. He was the ultimate hype man and deserves all the hype in return. While we originally went with him for his stellar work and the diversity of his portfolio, we quickly discovered that Simon is not only a photographer (whose photos are amazing, creative, candid, unique, emotional, empowering) but he is also a certified good vibe setter, mood lifter, stress zapper, and all around personified INSURANCE that you will have a good time on your wedding day. Simon is so chill and easy going while also being exceptionally on top of it and energetic at the same time.

Remember what it felt like being there. Memory is meaning. How you choose to preserve your memories now will affect how you remember them in the future. I specialize in making films you can feel - films your children will be able to feel. Remember the moment you knew you would fight for your relationship. It was love. It was raw. It was yours. Your wedding will likely be a production, a gathering of friends and family from all over, but at the heart of your wedding is a love story. It’s one of the greatest honors to be trusted to capture and create something meaningful - something yours.

You only have to view a few of their films to realize the difference hiring a filmaker versus a videographer makes. Yes, they can flawlessly record the ceremony, panning from different angles, but they really shine in curating a highlight film that captures the entire day. You only plan on doing this once. Capture the event in a way that will allow you to relive it every time you watch.
